Prime Air’s decade-long promise: MK30 drones, FAA exemptions, and the delivery network that keeps almost arriving.
At a GNC nutritional supplement warehouse in Whitestown, Indiana, four small drones fly overhead every day. They count more than 2,000 plastic-wrapped pallets nobody wanted to count by hand. The aircraft come from Corvus Robotics, a startup building autonomous indoor flyers tuned for warehouse inventory work. Since GNC brought the program online two years ago,…
Walmart is bringing drone delivery to Cincinnati through its partnership with Alphabet-owned Wing, planting an autonomous grocery flight operation in the same metro that houses Kroger’s global headquarters. The Ohio launch is part of the 150-store Wing-Walmart rollout announced in January 2026. That January announcement named Cincinnati alongside Houston, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Miami and…

I grabbed the Mini 4K Fly More Combo last month to see if it deserved the beginner hype, and I flew it for two weeks straight. What surprised me was not the camera quality or the gimbal stabilization, but how much less friction there is when you are actually ready to fly instead of still…
Welcome to your weekly UAS news update. I have three stories for you this week. The FCC opens the door for Chinese toy drones, but there’s a bit of a catch. Walmart and Wing are expanding their drone delivery operation. And then in Lee County, Florida, a DFR drone gets shot at with a BB…
Manna has issued an official response to Fingal County Council’s May 19 refusal of its Coolmine drone delivery hub, anchoring its defence on a Trinity College Dublin acoustic study and on World Health Organization, EU, EASA, ISO, and Irish EPA noise standards. The company told DroneXL through its public relations team on June 18 that planning frameworks built…
